Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 447 Sun Ce died in battle
Year [-], early July.

Xigan general Gao Shun led an army of [-] to attack Xuyi, and after encircling Shouchun, Sun Ce no longer cared about Cao Cao. road.

At the end of July, Luo Zheng mobilized 20 troops to encircle Shouchun. He only surrounded Shouchun, but did not attack, but ordered general Zhang Liao to lead [-] troops out of Anfengjin and attack Hefei southward. After half a month, Cao Hong, the general of Cao Jun, fought to the death and led [-] troops. stick to it.

When the city was broken, Cao Hong died at the top of the city and was decapitated by the Qian army.

Zhang Liao then divided his troops into four groups and attacked Lujiang and other counties in Huainan.

At the beginning of August, Zhang Liao's troops besieged Wancheng. Cao Cao's adopted son Cao Zhen led his troops to break through the siege several times, but they were all repelled.On the tenth day, the city was broken, and Cao Zhen was captured alive by Zhang Liao when he failed to break through the siege. He ordered his soldiers to take him to Shouchun and hand him over to Luo Zheng.

Luo Zheng ordered the soldiers to push Cao Zhen to the city of Shouchun and behead him, throwing his head on the head of Shouchun city.

In mid-August, the Xigan Navy and the Dongwu Navy fought in Hongze Lake. They were defeated and hundreds of warships were seized.

At the beginning of September, Gao Shun sent an army to storm Xuyi. He personally led two thousand dead men to the city. When Xuyi was broken, Sun Ce ordered the army to withdraw to Liyang. Twenty miles to the north.

On the small hill, horses neighed and people boiled, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

"kill!"

Sun Ce was drenched in blood, slapped the horse's head, and charged forward with all his might.

All the infantry after three thousand breaks had already died in battle, leaving only a few hundred soldiers around.

Although they were all cavalry, they were exhausted for a long time and couldn't run anymore, so they boarded this hill to rest.Not wanting the army to come so fast, Gao Shun personally led [-] cavalry to break away from the army and catch up.

Sun Ce broke through the siege several times, but failed to break through the siege of the [-] cavalry, and was trapped on this hill.

"Lord be careful!"

Sun Ce was in the middle of a bloody fight when he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him.

Before he had time to turn his head, he was knocked off his horse by Tai Shici, who was pounced on him. He narrowly escaped the iron arrow shot by the sharpshooter of the Qianjun Army with a two-stone bow. , and helped Sun Ce onto the horseback.

"Ziyi, I'm afraid that we will be doomed today!"

Sun Ce wanted to raise his sword to fight, but his arms were numb and numb, and he couldn't help saying sadly.

Tai Shici showed a sad face, but his tone was very firm, "The shroud of horse leather is the highest honor for our soldiers. To be able to fight the enemy side by side with the lord, Ciping's wish is enough, even if he dies in battle, what's the matter!"

"it is good!"

Sun Ce looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Kill!"

With a pat on the horse's head, he jumped forward and continued to charge.

More than a hundred riders followed closely behind. Although their physical strength had already been exhausted, no one was willing to give up.

I would rather die in battle than be a prisoner of the army.

A mile away, under a flying banner.

Gao Shun was expressionless, standing on his horse, his piercing eyes swept across the battlefield, and he casually ordered: "Order the left wing of the army to outflank the hill, and capture Sun Ce and Tai Shici alive."

"Order!"

The orderly had already responded loudly and urged the horse to leave quickly.

Soon, the left wing of the cavalry who had not joined the battlefield surrounded the hill, and Sun Ce and Tai Shici once again blocked the weak point to break through.

The physical strength of the soldiers has long been exhausted, and the horses can't run anymore.

Half an hour later, Sun Ce got Taishi Ci alone, and there was no one alive.

Sun Ce grabbed the reins of the war horse and panted violently. The ancient BMW had been thrown on the ground and he couldn't lift it anymore.

The war horse in the crotch also drooped its head, panting heavily, sweating profusely, and the four-legged horse's legs kept shaking, as if it might kneel down at any time, Tai Shici and the war horse in the crotch were not much better.

All around, hundreds of cavalry cavalry surrounded Sun Ce and Tai Shici in three layers, and surrounded Sun Ce and Tai Shici in a murderous manner.

If it hadn't been for the order sent by an orderly just now to catch those alive, these red-eyed soldiers would have rushed forward to split up Sun Ce and Tai Shici's corpses. Sun Ce's head does not know how much military merit it is worth.

"Ziyi, give Gu a ride!"

Sun Ce said calmly, "I don't want to be a prisoner, so give Gu a knife!"

"Lord!"

Tai Shici's face showed sorrow, and he couldn't speak.

"Quick!"

Sun Ce urged impatiently, not far away Gao Shun had charged over on his horse.

"what……"

Tai Shici raised his head to the sky and roared wildly, laughing loudly and said: "My lord, please go, the last general will come soon!"

Having said that, with the last ounce of courage, he stabbed a spear, which directly pierced Sun Ce's back heart. Then, before the cavalry cavalry around could react, he pulled out his sword fiercely and pulled it across his shin. .

puff!
With blood spurting out, Sun Ce and Tai Shici fell off their horses one after another.

"Oh shit!"

Xiao Qianjun, who had been startled just now, finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and scolded his mother.

"what happened?"

Gao Shun hurriedly urged his horse to arrive, but he was a step late.

A commanding officer hurriedly said, "General, Sun Ce and Tai Shici committed suicide by suicide."

"Ok?"

Gao Shun glanced at him, fixed his eyes for a moment, then waved, "Send the corpse to the lord's camp!"

"As ordered!"

Some personal soldiers had already rushed over to collect the bodies of Sun Ce and Tai Shici.

In September, the news of Sun Ce's death spread to Jiangdong, and the whole country of Soochow mourned.

Sun Ce refused to surrender, naturally because he did not want to give up the foundation the Sun family had built in Jiangdong.

Otherwise, if captured, Jiangdong will definitely be shaken, and it is very likely that Luo Zheng will take advantage of the situation to beat the river.

Only by dying on the battlefield can the hearts of Jiangdong's people be aroused, and Jiangdong's people can be united, using the river's natural dangers as a screen, to deal with Luo Zheng to the end. Sun Ce understood it, so he simply sacrificed his life.

After Luo Zheng received the bodies of Sun Ce and Tai Shici, he immediately ordered people to send them to Jiangdong to lighten the hatred of the people in Jiangdong.

However, the expected chaos in Jiangdong did not happen. Not long after the news of Sun Ce's death reached Jiangdong, Jiangdong's officials supported Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan as the successor to the throne of Wu on the grounds that Sun Ce's son was too young to take over the throne. .

Sun Quan lived up to expectations, temporarily put aside his hatred, resolutely abandoned Jiangbei, and ordered the Wu army to withdraw to Jiangdong.

Sun Ce died in battle, and Wu Jun was on the verge of collapse, unable to fight anymore.

At this time, giving up Jiangbei's territory, shrinking the housing line, and appeasing people's hearts is the only correct choice.Only by stabilizing the hearts of the people in the east of the river can we accumulate vitality and rely on the river to defend ourselves.

In October, the Shouchun food is exhausted.

Thirty thousand Cao Jun is in danger of mutiny.

Cao Cao was desperate, and with two thousand cavalry, he and his confidants left the city at night to break through.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at Yinling, they were overtaken by Xu Chu's army. Two thousand of the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry were defeated by three thousand wolf cavalry led by Xu Chu.

Under the desperate escort of Dian Wei, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Xia Houshang and other generals, Cao Cao took only a few dozen relatives to protect Cheng Yu, Xun You and other confidants and fled to Liyang. Dedicated to Sun Quan.
